A
gig
held at Kingsdown Vaults
on Friday 26th January. The event starts at 20:30pm.
4 piece combo playing loads of old time Blues & R'n'B
The Terraplanes were formed in 2013 when blues guitarist
and singer songwriter Nick Scrase met Eduardo Allen..a Portuguese harmonica player living in Bristol at an open mic night in The Greenhouse on park st. Scrase was playing an old country blues song when Allen (who always carried a harmonica in his pocket) jumped up on stage and joined in. The pair quickly became friends with a shared appreciation for authentic Delta Blues.
They took their name from legendary bluesman Robert Johnson's first record "Terraplane Blues" (a masterclass in Johnson's distinctive finger picking bottleneck guitar style).
The pair played as a duo and recorded an acoustic blues E.P and performed at Bristol venues such as The Old Duke, Mr Wolfs, The Gallimaufry, Under the Stars and LeftBank on Bristol's Gloucester Rd and it was at The LeftBank that they did their first gig as a 4 piece.
